  • Review List 2019
    British Columbia Field Ornithologists’Bird Records Committee – Review List – 31 December 2019 The sequence of birds on this list follows the 7th edition of the A.O.U. Check-List of North American Birds and updates through to the 60th supplement. The BC Bird Records Committee solicits information on the following 174 species on the Review List, as well as species unrecorded in the province. In general, review species average two or fewer occurrences per year over the past ten year period. There are a few cases where species may exceed this threshold, but are included so that we can get a better idea of occurrence in the province. Documentation should be submitted to the BCBRC via the online report submission form at https://bcfo.ca/ review-list/ or via email to bcbrc.chair AT gmail DOT com Note: This review list will be updated periodically as new species are added to the Provincial Main and/or Provisional lists, as our understanding of annual occurences increases, and as taxonomy changes. Check the BCFO website to ensure you have the latest version.

Some of the group landed very late at night, but everyone was resting well before midnight to start a great trip next morning. February 18 We started our trip just in the outskirts of Antigua and by the gate of Finca El Pilar we had great views of Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl and Bushy-crested Jay. We went all the way up the road and with the tremendous volcanoes in the background we started to have fun seeing White- eared Hummingbirds, Grey Silky-Flycatchers, Wilson’s and Townsend’s Warblers, (Photo: Karen Chiasson) Baltimore Orioles and Western Tanagers.

Langham VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, STE 1003, AUSTIN, TX 78746 (800) 328-8368 -- www.ventbird.com GRAND CALIFORNIA FIELD REPORT August 11 - 26, 2018 Posted by Jeri M. Langham September 9, 2018 Whenever someone asks if I get tired of leading Grand California, I laugh and say, "Picture San Francisco, Point Reyes National Seashore, Bodega Bay, the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe, Mono Lake, the White Mountains, Yosemite National Park, Monterey and the Big Sur coastline. Now tell me you could ever get tired of the scenery, not to mention the array of possible birds, plants and other animals." Our endemic Yellow-billed Magpie is much more difficult to see due to decimation by the West Nile Virus, but we still always find some in the Sacramento area. This year our pelagic trip on Monterey Bay produced Humpback Whales, up to 3 Black-footed Albatrosses sitting on the water around our boat and, best of all, a juvenile Masked Booby. Black-footed Albatross © Rebecca Bowater Masked Booby © Rebecca Bowater It is always difficult to select the top experiences from any of my tours because every day brings at least one special encounter. Here are some excerpts of this year’s tour taken from the daily journal I write and then mail to all participants after I get home. On our way to Bodega Head, we picked up three Black Oystercatchers and a dozen American White Pelicans.
